A vehicle body is provided with a rear wheel at a rear portion, and a front wheel coupled to a handle post. A swing-enabling shaft is rotatably provided on the upper portion of the handle post. A handlebars unit is attached to the swing-enabling shaft such that it can swing forward and backward relative to the vehicle body. When the handlebars unit is swung, a driving mechanism is driven. The driving mechanism rotates the front wheel such that the vehicle body advances, regardless of whether the handlebars unit is swung forward or backward.
